Lovefeast in a BoxTM for 2021
If you’ve been at Calvary for a while, you might remember the Lovefeast-in-a-Box™ program launched by our Sisters Fellowship several years ago. The idea is to connect our faraway friends and family with Christmas Eve lovefeasts by shipping dressed candles, coffee fixins, Moravian cookies, and the worship ode in tidy packages, so that long-distance and stay-at-home worshippers can participate with us via livestream on Christmas Eve. In light of the continuing pandemic, Lovefeast-in-a-Box™ continues to be a great way to help participants celebrate Christmas Eve safely.
Visit Lovefeastinabox.com to place an order. You can purchase individual or double boxes, or you can order a family pack (serves 6). Boxes can be picked up in person (12/12 & 12/14) or shipped (via USPS on 12/6). Orders must be placed by November 15.

Fellowship Dinner
Mark your calendars for 4pm, Sunday, November 7. Barbara and Bill Howard will once again host our church family at their farm for some safe, fun, in person fellowship! We’re planning a hotdog dinner (we’ll provide all the things and have one person grilling and serving) and a bonfire, so bring your own s’mores roasting stick and we’ll have individual packages of s’more fixins’. Our very own Spencer Bullins and Greg Biggam will play some music for us and Bill will fire up the tractor for a hayride around their farm. (Rain-date: 4pm, November 14.) The address is 148 Jim Frye Rd. Advance, NC 27006.
